For what it was I guess, but it doesn't make me go wow.

Seems low to me. Considering it's Whyte vs Rivas headlining maybe I expect too much from a PPV. 280k PPV is only 22,397,220 in PPV revenue @79,99.Onetimeonly wrote: ↑10 Aug 2019, 14:18That's a good ppv number unless the fighters are making bank.
EDIT: I used US PPV prices. UK was 20 Pounds per view. My (BiG) mistake.

Right. Whyte needed Dave Allen. Surely.
Dave Allen on the undercard helped. It must have.
Sometimes you read some priceless stuff.

Let’s not forget UK is a much smaller place than USA. Also, not many fights in the UK crack 1 million.oogiebe wrote: ↑10 Aug 2019, 14:21Seems low to me.

This fight generated £5m+ in revenue. Take away Sky cuts. Whyte got his desirable purse.

If people think 280k is low it speaks positively to what they expect from Whyte as a draw.

True. Maybe I was swayed by Eddie's hype on whyte being a PPV star. You think SKY and the promoters where happy with this number then?margaret thatcher wrote: ↑10 Aug 2019, 14:47 If people think 280k is low it speaks positively to what they expect from Whyte as a draw.

They are. It’s only PPV due to Whyte’s purse demands. Nothing more.

How and why are people unimpressed ? With the numbers ? with Hearn's promotion ?
TWO HUNDRED and EIGHTY THOUSAND people willing to pay £20 to watch the British Number 3 fight an unknown Colombian ?!
It should never have been PPV, but they still grossed over £5m when it's so very easy to steal for free ?
Amazing numbers.

Calling FOX’s recents numbers poor. Because they don’t compare to the 70’s.Onetimeonly wrote: ↑10 Aug 2019, 15:04So when were my standards for ratings too high? LolRuthless-RKO wrote: ↑10 Aug 2019, 15:00

The comparison later was ratings compared to major sports on major networks. Like I said yesterday, one or both of us got our lines crossed.

I do get your point. Other sports included, Boxing isn’t even top 5 in USA is it?
I’m from the UK and I know for a fact, MLB, NBA, NFL, College Football, ice hockey are all ahead of Boxing.

Yeah
280k for White v Rivas is a good figure. Not sure what people were expecting here but whatever it was it was unrealistic

Agreed. It had a strong undercard, personally I was most interested in the Price/Allen fight and I bet I wasn't alone on this.skanksta wrote: ↑10 Aug 2019, 15:31 How and why are people unimpressed ? With the numbers ? with Hearn's promotion ?

I compare to US historic numbers, so yes. I said I was still comparing to the past. So...smack away.
